My Chocolate Birthday Cake

Photography by Angèle van Diessen
My little daughter and I baked this chocolate cake for my birthday last week.  One of the ingredients in the cake is freshly brewed coffee, which actually just enhances the chocolate flavor.  I'm not a huge fan of frosting, so we left the cake without frosting but decorated it with chocolate hazelnut crème de Pirouline.  This cake was so moist and chocolaty!  I still have half a carton of buttermilk so I might just have to bake another chocolate cake this week.  :)

Happy Belated Birthday, Angele! This cake looks sinfully delicious. Wonder if I could make it dairy-free and gluten-free? ;-) Hope you had a wonderful day!

Thanks, Mona!! I had a lovely birthday! I'll give you the recipe, too. You'd need substitutes for buttermilk and all-purpose flour, but I think the cake could be dairy-free and gluten-free.
